Fort Macon Creek
You can anchor off here near Fort Macon State Park, a 424-acre park in Atlantic Beach, NC built around a strikingly well-preserved pre-Civil War fort. The mix of history and wild coastline is genuinely hard to beat — once ashore, you can catch cannon and musket demonstrations, hike nearly 5 miles of trails, or hit the free swimming beach, all at no admission cost.
